Usage

This template does exactly what {{Format link}} does, and takes all the same arguments.

This template is intended to lower editor workload when copying links from the URL bar and is not suitable for replacing {{Format link}}, because of the changes it makes to {{Format link}}'s output that could create ambiguity if automatically replaced.

This template replaces any underscores with spaces and decodes any URL parts in {{Format link}}'s output. Some examples of why this may be useful—

{{Format link}}

  • {{format link|People_of_the_Philippines_v._Santos,_Ressa_and_Rappler#Santos_Jr.'s_article|italicizepage=y}}
    Template:Format link
  • {{format link|%E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E6%97%A5%E8%A8%98#M%61nga}}
    Template:Format link

{{Format linkr}}

  • {{format linkr|People_of_the_Philippines_v._Santos,_Ressa_and_Rappler#Santos_Jr.'s_article|italicizepage=y}}
People of the Philippines v. Santos, Ressa and Rappler § Santos Jr.'s article
  • {{format linkr|%E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E6%97%A5%E8%A8%98#M%61nga}}
未来日記 § Manga

|nud=

|nud= (no URL decode) can be added to disable URL decoding but still get underscores replaced.

  • {{format linkr|%E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E6%97%A5%E8%A8%98#M%61_nga|nud=y}}
%E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E6%97%A5%E8%A8%98 § M%61 nga

Note that you can achieve this through the HTML5 entity _ just as well:

  • {{format linkr|pages%5Fcan’t_contain_underscores#but%5Fsections_may (though their anchors won’t!)}}
pages can’t contain underscores § but sections_may (though their anchors won’t!)
